  11. Karlstad My deepest sympathies to the Dahl family.

    Deana was one of the kindest people I have ever known. I graduated with her in 1987 and we had known each other all the way through school.

    I had last talked with her at our 20th. She was as I always remember..kind and happy. She was always that way. It seems so many people remember her kindness, and I know why..she always had time to help people, she always had time for a friend.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. May Deana rest in peace, and blessed be her memory. May God give you comfort and peace and this difficult time…

    Dear Phil, Darlyne, and Jeff,

    My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of Deana. I loved her smile! During our younger years, we would make “DQ dates.” I would have to meet her at the stable first. She loved her horse! Needless to say, DQ wasn’t a priority! I have wonderful memories with/of her. RIP my dear friend. Blessed be the memories.

    Dear Dahls,

    My thoughts and prayers are with your family at the difficult time.

    I remember Deana’s smiling face as a little girl. I know she will be missed so very much. It was always fun to babysit your kids and their Dahl cousins. They kept Allie and I hopping, but there were lots of giggles too! Blessed be your memories of Deana.

  16. West Fargo ndDeana, when I think about you, I think about kindness…you were always so kind to everyone. You truly cared when someone looked sad. You had empathy for those hurting, and you took the time to help them.
    We had so many fun times growing up together. Riding around on your moped, sleepovers and just acting silly. You were always so kind to me.
    You were a true beauty in every way…rest in peace, Deana
